Buffalo Snap Violation Lawyers

What is a Buffalo Snap Violation?

So, you‘ve been hit with a “Buffalo Snap” violation, and you’re probably wondering, “What the heck is that?” Well, take a deep breath, because we’re about to break it down for you.A Buffalo Snap, or “Buffalo Bribe Receiving Travel Act Violation,” is a federal charge related to bribery and corruption. Specifically, it involves using interstate travel or communication to facilitate bribery. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “But, I didn‘t bribe anyone!” And that’s fair, because these charges can be complex, and sometimes, innocent people get caught up in them.

Why Do I Need a Lawyer?

Look, when you’re facing federal charges like this, you need a skilled criminal defense attorney in your corner. These cases are no joke, and the consequences can be severe. We’re talking potential prison time, hefty fines, and a permanent criminal record that could haunt you for the rest of your life.But, here‘s the thing, the government has to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. And that’s where we come in. Our team of experienced lawyers will fight tooth and nail to protect your rights and ensure you get a fair trial.

What Can a Lawyer Do for Me?

Okay, so you’re probably wondering, “But, what exactly can a lawyer do for me in this situation?” Well, let me break it down for you:

1. Investigate the Charges: Our team will thoroughly investigate the charges against you, reviewing all the evidence and looking for any holes or inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case.
2. Negotiate with Prosecutors: Sometimes, the best strategy is to negotiate with prosecutors and try to get the charges reduced or dismissed entirely. And trust me, you want someone skilled in the art of negotiation on your side.
3. Prepare for Trial: If it comes down to it, we’ll prepare a solid defense strategy and represent you in court. We’ll cross-examine witnesses, challenge evidence, and make sure your side of the story is heard.
4. Protect Your Rights: Throughout the entire process, we’ll make sure your constitutional rights are protected, and you’re treated fairly by the justice system.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, “But, won’t hiring a lawyer cost me an arm and a leg?” And sure, legal fees can be expensive, but trust me, the cost of not having proper representation can be far greater.

Real-Life Examples

Let me give you a couple of examples of how we’ve helped clients in similar situations:There was this one case where our client, let’s call him “John,” was accused of using his business to facilitate bribes to government officials. Now, on the surface, it looked pretty damning. But, our team dug deeper, and we discovered that John was actually being extorted by these officials. They were threatening to shut down his business if he didn’t pay up.So, we took that evidence to the prosecutors, and after some tough negotiations, we were able to get the charges against John dropped entirely. He got to keep his business, and he didn‘t have to spend a single day in jail.Then there was “Sarah,” who was accused of using her position at a non-profit organization to accept bribes from contractors. Now, Sarah swore up and down that she was innocent, but the evidence against her was pretty compelling.But, our team didn’t give up. We pored over every piece of evidence, and we found a smoking gun – emails that showed the contractors were actually bribing Sarah’s boss, and she was completely in the dark about it.Armed with that evidence, we went to trial, and after a hard-fought battle, Sarah was found not guilty on all charges.

Steps to Take if You’re Facing Charges

Okay, so now that you understand what a Buffalo Snap violation is and how a lawyer can help, let’s talk about what you should do if you’re facing these charges:

1. Don’t Say Anything: I know it’s tempting to try and explain yourself, but trust me, anything you say can and will be used against you. Exercise your right to remain silent and wait for your lawyer.
2. Hire a Lawyer ASAP: Don’t wait, hire a lawyer as soon as possible. The sooner we can start working on your case, the better.
3. Gather Evidence: If you have any documents, emails, or other evidence that could help your case, gather it up and give it to your lawyer.
4. Follow Your Lawyer’s Advice: Once you’ve hired us, listen to our advice. We know what we’re doing, and we’ll guide you through every step of the process.
5. Stay Strong: I know it’s easier said than done, but try to stay positive and keep your head up. We’ll be fighting for you every step of the way.

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.
